Excess weight is a key risk factor for chronic disease, and the systematic collection, analysis and reporting of key trends are important to surveillance of overweight and obesity.
We used univariate analyses to calculate current prevalence estimates of excess weight among Canadian children and youth.
Almost 1 in 7 children and youth is obese. Rates vary based on sociodemographic factors such as age, sex, socioeconomic status and place of residence. Overall, the rates of excess weight have been relatively stable over the past decade.
Ongoing monitoring of childhood obesity will provide useful information to assist with sustained actions to promote healthy weights.
超重是慢性病的一个关键风险因素,系统地收集、分析和报告关键趋势对于超重和肥胖的监测非常重要。
我们使用单变量分析来计算加拿大儿童和青少年超重的当前流行率估计值。
近七分之一的儿童和青少年肥胖。这些比率因年龄、性别、社会经济地位和居住地等社会人口因素而有所不同。总的来说,超重率在过去十年中相对稳定。
对儿童肥胖的持续监测将提供有用的信息,以协助持续采取行动促进健康体重。
